What should you look for before choosing a franchise opportunity?

A.J. Titus breaks it down into three key questions: Does the business model work? Does the brand have a proven history of success? And can you actually see yourself enjoying the work and the people you’ll be doing it with?

Because choosing a franchise isn’t only about the numbers. It’s about finding an opportunity you can see yourself building for the long term.

Year after year, this is one of the partnerships we’re most proud to be part of. 🎒

Our UFG team recently joined the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County to help distribute backpacks and school supplies to local students, seeing firsthand the impact this initiative makes across our community.

After five years of supporting this effort, the mission continues to mean just as much: helping students start the school year with the tools, confidence, and support they need to succeed.

We’re grateful to stand alongside an organization doing meaningful work for Palm Beach County students and proud to keep showing up for our local community! 👏

What happens after you sell the business you spent years building?

In her latest Entrepreneur article, Jessica Fialkovich, President of Exit Factor, explores why many owners experience regret after a sale, often not because of the deal itself, but because of what they lose along with the business: identity, routine, community, and purpose.

She shares why a successful exit should include planning for life after the sale, not just the sale itself.

Read Jessica’s insights on preparing for an exit you can feel good about long after the deal closes: https://www.entrepreneur.com/building-a-business/75-of-founders-regret-selling-their-business-within-a-year-heres-how-to-walk-away-with-more-than-just-money
